Python sockets, attribute error str has no attribute encrypt

I got this error:

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'encrypt'

when running these lines of code. They are inside definition of a function(except for the import lines). Btw from which library is the function encrypt()?

 import socket
 import sys
 import getopt
 import threading
 import subprocess
     buffer="lol"
     client_sender(buffer.encrypt('utf-8'))

You probably want to go with

buffer.encode('utf8')

in order to make the string a byte object and pass it to a socket connection.

If you are trying to convert a str to a bytes object, the proper method is str.encode():

>>> s = "foo"
>>> s.encode("utf-8")
b'foo'
